Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 147

Lifting her head, she glared at Kieran, her cheeks flushed with anger.

“Do you need help fixing your shirt?” Kieran asked with a frivolous smile.

“Drop dead!”

“I can’t do that, the policy of increasing birth rates has been implemented, I haven’t contributed to

society yet, if I die now, it would be a disservice to society.”

“You mean a disservice to your genes, right?” Julie was already used to Kieran’s shamelessness, so

she had no problem rebutting him.

But Kieran just laughed, “Then think of it as saving the next generation. The glorious and great task of

improving my genes can only fall on you. After all, with my inferior genes, I can still breed a smart child

like Ivan, mostly due to your contribution.”

“Kieran, you really have no shame!” Julie glared at Kieran’s eyes and refuted him word by word.

Kieran sighed lightly, “Between keeping my image and getting you, I choose to give up my image.”

“Between keeping my image and getting you, I choose to give up you.”

*Joyce, I’ve only been punished physically once in my life, and that one time was because of you,

punished by the coach to run around the field. Are you sure you want to argue with me about image

issues, rather than ask me why I had to run with you?”

“Isn’t it because you like me?” Since Kieran already didn’t care about his image, did she still need to

maintain hers?

Kieran had seen the most shameless moments of Julie, and compared to those, Julie was already

quite restrained now.

“Yes, because I like you. I wanted to run with you. I was afraid that you would no longer like me after

high school, so I went to confirm if you still liked me.” Kieran said.

To Julie’s surprise, Kieran was straight forward, which was completely out of his character.

Julie’s resistance and anger involuntarily paused for a moment.

With Kieran’s words, Julie remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

At that time, when they moved from junior high to high school, they had to change schools. Kieran had

good grades and could easily get into a prestigious school. Julie, on the other hand, had poor grades

and unless a miracle happened, there was no chance she could get into the same high school as

Kieran.

At that time, Julie felt that her purpose in life was Kieran, so she desperately tried to get into the high

school where Kieran was.

In order to get into the high school where Kieran was, she had to work hard in private.

Julie thought about it and the most effective way was to get Rankin, who had good grades in class, to

tutor her, so she bought him lunch every day.

For a whole week, Julie even forgot to stick to Kieran, she put all her energy into tutoring with Rankin.

Finally, whether it was her determination that moved heaven and earth, or for some other reason,

Rankin finally agreed to tutor her.

Julie asked the teacher to allow her to sit next to Rankin.

Kieran always sat in a single seat at the back of the school.

There were many students in the class at that time, and everyone sat on both sides of a table in pairs,

only Kieran sat alone at the end. This was due to Kieran’s own request, and Kieran’s all–round

development greatly improved the overall level of the class, so the teacher was very accommodating to

him.

Julie originally sat in the position in front of Kieran, a position she had struggled to get.

In order to be able to get into the same high school as Kieran in the future, Julie told Kieran before she

moved her seat, “Kieran, you’re too hard to get, I’m letting go, yes, you’re losing me. I’ve decided to

start forgetting you step by step from moving my seat, I hope you can get into a good school. Oh! By

the way, I hope that no one else can marry you in the future except me. You’re welcome.”

After saying that, Julie moved to sit next to Rankin.

Rankin was quite similar to Kieran in some ways, especially his aloof personality, and his equally

outstanding appearance and grades. It was only because of Kieran that his light was completely

covered.

But you should know that Rankin also had a lot of suitors in the school.

Julle still remembered the first thing Rankin said after she moved her seat next to him, “You don’t like

Kieran anymore?”

Julie was silent for a moment, then looked at Rankin seriously and said, “Rankin, can you tell me with

your wisdom, can a person

decide not to like another person at will?”

Rankin seemed surprised by Julie’s question, so he hesitated for a while before saying, “That’s none of

my business.”

“You’re right, there won’t be a good ending with puppy love, you’re such a smart person, you definitely

can’t fall in love early. Puppy love is not good.” Julie answered seriously.

Rankin just looked at Julie with some confusion, “Then why do you like Kieran?”

“Liking someone doesn’t mean puppy love. I’m just admiring him, queuing up to be his girlfriend in

advance!”

“About love, it doesn’t mean you could finally get it when waiting for a long time. There will be a lot of

people cutting in line.” Rankin replied casually.

Looking back on it now, Julie felt that Rankin was right.

She came back to her senses and looked at Kieran, “Do you remember Rankin? The boy who sat next

to me in the third year of junior high school and tutored me, a very cute guy with long legs.”

Although Rankin was known as the most handsome boy in the school, Kieran classmates at the time.

the one who was praised as a treasure by his

Hearing the name Rankin, Kieran couldn’t help but frown, he said coldly, “I don’t remember anyone

whose legs are shorter than mine.”

He’s so shameless, too shameless!!

“It’s the guy who was in the same class as us in junior high and high school, but he didn’t take the SAT

in the end…… Rankin has a very nice dimple when he smiles, but he rarely smiles, always looks

aloof……Hey! If you pull my clothes again, I’ll……”

“What will you do?” Kieran calmly raised his eyebrows, interrupting Julie’s unfinished words.

The words Julie was about to say disappeared from her mouth in an instant…

Who the heck yanks on someone’s clothes while talking?

“If you don’t back off, I’m gonna yell for help! It’s not just me who’s gonna be embarrassed. Your

reputation is more important than mine, you’ll be more famous when you embarrass yourself!” Julie

glared at Kieran angrily.

“What’s up with Rankin?” Kieran deflected the conversation.

“Rankin says there’s no order in love, there are always people cutting in line. So, Kieran, I don’t need

you.” Julie said, “No matter what the reason, I’m really grateful you protected Ivan back then. But there

are too many knots between us that we can’t untie. Too many knots become a chasm, and now there’s

a chasm between us we can’t cross, you know?”

“When haven’t we had a chasm between us?” Kieran asked Julie, darkly.

Julie opened her mouth, but she couldn’t find an answer to his question…

He was right, from the beginning, there was a distance between them, a big one.

At first, when the Abraham family hadn’t fallen, Julie could approach Kieran as a rich girl, at least the

distance between them wasn’t that big. But then Julie’s parents died, the Abraham family went

bankrupt, and her only sister, Sansa, fell into a coma.

Julie went from being a rich girl to hitting rock bottom.

In terms of academics, the gap between Julie and Kieran was even bigger.

So, right from the start, there was a big distance between them.

Julie’s expression had gone from initial panic to calm.

She said, “That’s right, we had a gap from the start, so we won’t be happy together. Haven’t we proven

that with a failed marriage?”

“A failed marriage?” Kieran raised an eyebrow meaningfully, then picked up their recently issued

marriage certificate from the table. He chuckled, “The marriage isn’t over, how do you know it’s a

failure?”

Julie reached out to snatch the certificate.

Kieran lifted his hand, holding it behind his neck.

With her arms around his neck trying to take it, Julie finally realized how suggestive this action was.

She tried to retract her arm, but then heard him say, “Joyce, trust me one more time. We will be happy,

I will make you happy.”

His eyes, as clear as diamonds, reflected only Julie.

Julie then realized, in his eyes, her gaze could be so clear, so affectionate.

  ◌ེ ཤ

“Why?” Julie looked at Kieran curiously, asking him, “Why did you want to marry me back then, and

why do you insist on me now?” “Didn’t you put a spell on me? Cursed that I wouldn’t be able to marry

anyone else in this lifetime but you. Joyce, your curse is spot on.” He said affectionately.

And then…

Julie’s response was, “Then you can die alone!”

When Mrs. Hernandez starts being ruthless, she really becomes heartless…

“They say the more ruthless a person, the richer their life experiences.”

“Mr. Hemandez, your viewpoint is really extreme. People usually only show ruthlessness to those they

dislike, and they can’t be ruthless to those they like.” Julie said with a sarcastic smile.

Kieran seemed to resonate with Julie’s words, he nodded in agreement.

Julie laughed, “Mr. Hemandez, don’t you think I’m making sense? Like, the reason you can be so

ruthless to me is mainly because you don’t like me.”

“How can you be so heartless?” Kieran pinched Julie’s waist, “If I didn’t like you, how could I have let

you chase after me for so many years within my sight?”
